yup. that feeling of being in some kind of frontier is very liberating also. they don't have the budget to chase everyone who hates the government scattered among millions of square miles of countryside. inside the cities is possible, but not in the country. out there they only show up in very exceptional circumstances.

are there still some frontiers out there ?

every place that the government doesn't control is a frontier

the movie THX-1138 has this theme alluded to in its final scenes. the movie Logan's Run also points at this - outside of the totalitarian tech dystopia cities there is freedom.
